According to the EIB, the projects concerns the financing, construction and operation of a 190MW wind farm in the Greater Poland region.
The aim is to contribute to progress on the national and EU energy and climate goals, namely helping to decarbonise electricity production in the EU and to decrease the reliance on fossil fuels. The project is located in EIB Cohesion Priority Regions, and contributes to developing less-developed regions.
The project concerns the development and operation of an onshore wind farm in Poland. It will support the 2030 targets set out in the National Energy and Climate Plan of Poland.
The project site is outside of Natura 2000 areas. The following are approx. 10 km away from the edge of the project site:
- Uroczyska Plyty Krotoszynskiej (PLH300002), protected under the Habitats Directive
- Ostoja nad Barycza (PLH020041), protected under the Habitats Directive
- Dolina Baryczy (PLB020001), protected under the Birds Directive
It is unclear at this stage whether the grid connection line will cross any of the above Natura 2000 areas.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF EIB
The EIB Complaints Mechanism is designed to facilitate and handle complaints against the EIB by individuals, organizations or corporations affected by EIB activities. When exercising the right to lodge a complaint against the EIB, any member of the public has access to a two-tier procedure, one internal - the Complaints Mechanism Office - and one external - the European Ombudsman. A complaint can be lodged via a written communication addressed to the Secretary General of the EIB, via email to the dedicated email address: complaints@eib.org, by completing the online complaint form available at the following address: http://www.eib.org/complaints/form via fax or delivered directly to the EIB Complaints Mechanism Division, any EIB local representation office or any EIB staff. For further details, check: http://www.eib.org/attachments/strategies/complaints_mechanism_policy_en.pdf
When dissatisfied with a complaint to the EIB Complaints Mechanism, citizens can then turn towards the European Ombudsman. A memorandum of Understanding has been signed between the EIB and the European Ombudsman establishes that citizens (even outside of the EU if the Ombudsman finds their complaint justified) can turn towards the Ombudsman on issues related to 'maladministration' by the EIB. Note that before going to the Ombudsman, an attempt must be made to resolve the case by contacting the EIB. In addition, the complaint must be made within two years of the date when the facts on which your complaint is based became known to you. You can write to the Ombudsman in any of the languages of the European Union. Additional details, including filing requirements and complaint forms, are available at: http://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/atyourservice/interactiveguide.faces
